3rd child flavours and mixes?

Has anyone had or no anyone who has had 3 children that has had alternate sexes each time ie girl, boy, girl or boy, girl, boy.

Everyone I know and all my friends has always either had
girl, boy, boy
boy, girl, girl
Girl, girl, boy
Boy, boy, girl

I wondered whether this was so frequent that there was some reasoning behind it?

Thanks

My MIL had boy,girl,boy (though, sadly, the 3rd child did not live past 1 month)

Does it count if there are more than 3 children?
My cousins are girl,boy,girl,boy!

And my friends are
(twin) girls, boy, girl

I have boy, girl, boy. One friend has same and another has girl, boy, girl.

I think you can find positives to any mix of siblings you have. Mine rub along very well most of the time.

Yeah it does count, we want 4 so this one will hopefully be number 3 of 4!

If I were to have a third, I'd like it to be a boy which would give me gir, boy, boy
Not entirely sure why that's my preference!

I know plenty of single sex families and alternate ones.

There is no reasoning whatsoever. The sperm doesn't think "Hang on... the last one was a boy, best make this a girl' Hmm

GizzyBoo · 25/02/2012 12:34

Yup I too have boy, girl, boy!
